View 2 RepliesI am running Apache2.2, PHP5.I have been running with virtual hosts on a Windows 7 environment fine for a couple of years successfully, but have just had to move to a Windows 8 environment.It looks like Apache and PHP have installed and are working fine, but my Virtual hosts are now not being recognised. From what I can tell, it is the Windows 8 hosts file that is having a problem, as it looks as though it is now just setup to Block websites.
If I make the host file just have the one line127.0.0.1 localhost entry, then the very first Virtual Host from my apache config file will come up, but the rest are not found.If I put the usual 127.0.0.1 mywebsite.name aliasname is appears as though my website works momentarily and then is blocked..
I just have a question about an Apache 2.0 error. I am running a web host and I am using VHCS for my web hosting control panel which creates virtual hosts in Apache's config files. Whenever I have a certain number of virtual hosts (200 or more roughly) Apache will start giving me problems with no messages about what went wrong. Some examples of what Apache does is that it will crash when I run "apache2ctl restart" or it just won't run when I start it sometimes. It really annoys me since I'm wondering if it's an Apache memory issue. Any ideas on what to do or how to solve this dilemma?

I'm aware that millions of websites using shared hosting are configured with name based virtual hosting.
I'm just wondering now how name based vhosts could be a disadvantage for hosting our websites?
Currently we have a static IP address for each website, apache configured with vhosts for each of these IP Addresses.
I was thinking about re-configuring to name based vhosts, use up less IP Addresses and only have one or two for domains to point to per server.
Is there anything I should know about name based vhosts?
Currently I know of the following issues:
- I can't setup SSL (I don't think?) without a unique IP, but this doesn't matter to me.
- Apache may be making DNS lookups?
This post may seem a bit silly overall, I doubt there is anything important to note about name based vhosts, but just wanted to know if anyone knew something I should know.
Our current ip based vhost setup works, but it would be nice to drop usage on all of those IP Addresses and we have no need for IP address access from browsers and whatnot.
I seem to be experiencing slower bw throughput in speedtests on my server today on a domain that is on a shared ip as a virtualhost in apache 2.2.x on fedora core 6.
Right now this domain is pushing somewhere around 35Mbits out and 1Mbit in.
When I d/l from this domain I see pausing and overall performance is roughly 1/2 of what it was yesterday (400K/sec versus ~800K yesterday), when the site was only doing about 3Mbits.
However, another domain on this same server that is not on a shared IP, when I test it, I get my usual 100% d/l speed.
My server is not under heavy load, .02, .06, .00 with 95% idle cpu.
I'm just wondering, should sites with high bw use definitely have their own IP, as shared/virtual hosting is known to cause slowness?
I have a little trouble with my Apache configurations. I have two computers with Ubuntu and Apache 2.2 - let's call them Home (192.168.1.2) and Server (192.168.1.3) connected with a router. I am working on Home, connecting to Server via ssh and mounting the web root directory of Server to Home via sshfs -> Server's /var/www becomes Home's /home/username/www. The problem is I can't really setup my Apache virtual hosts. I have a project in Server's /var/www/project, respectively Home's /home/username/www/project, and I want to create a virtual host on Home that lets me view the remote contents.
This is what I am adding to Home's /etc/hosts: 192.168.1.3 project
This is what I am adding to Home's /etc/apache2/sites-available/project:
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.3:80>
DocumentRoot /home/username/www/project
ServerName project
</VirtualHost>
After all this, when I open http://project/ in Home's browser, I just see the default apache page of Server (the one in /var/www).
I am messing with Apache at home and have managed to create virtual hosts with no problems, my next step was to produce a self signed SSL cert. which again has worked but it's redirecting my non-SSL virtual host to the host I have set-up for SSL for example:
- www.mysite1.com set-up with SSL and works as designed both http and https
- www.mysite2.com I don't want using SSL is working fine through http but if you try https it will then redirect to www.mysite1.com
I am just getting started with my first Linux VPS account and am having a problem that I hope someone can help me with. I am setting up multiple client accounts that will each have access to Tomcat Manager on their own domain so that war files can be deployed to the home directory of the respective account. I was able to get Tomcat Manager going for each domain, but when I try to upload a war file, I get a permission denied error. However, I don't get this error for the main VPS account.
What is the best way to resolve this? Is there a way to link a client account user to an instance of Tomcat Manager? Or do I have to assign the home directory of the account to a group that is common to the tomcat user (assuming that is what Manager is running under)? Or is there another option that is entirely better?
Just looking for some guidance before I hack up my new account too bad.
I have been reading the Separate Virtual Host Configuration Files configuration reference, but just not clicking.
I want to take each of my httpd.conf domain configurations and store them in seperate files on the drive.
Can someone give me real world examples from their config of what is needed in httpd.conf and then what is needed in each seperate host file.
I have been tearing my hair out over this, I have a small problem, I am trying to set up multiple virtual hosts using ssl on port 443. I have followed instructions and set up IP based hosts with my single network card having two different IP's. but the problem is that the second IP is not recieving any requests from the router as it is using the certificate from the first host and diverting to the result of the first sites authentication process.
any one know how I can do this, the first router forwards all requests to the second more secure router which then forwards to the server which is working fine. I need to get this to work and don't know how. both routers support NAT and ther servers first IP address has been assigned a NAT IP.
I can't include the conf file as the board won't let me until I have posted 5 times....but if you need it I can email it or something
the virtual hosts on port 80 are name based....does this matter?
Ok so I just installed apache 2.2 on windows server 2008.
I would like to set it up so if I go to 99.144.79.25(Server IP) I get index1.html. If I go to example.com which points to 99.144.79.25 I get index2.html. If I go to example3.com which points to 99.144.79.25 I get index3.html.
So kind of like, if the domain folder is not found on my server, give the page index1.html.
In the long run I want to run a bunch of sites with different domains, testing right now though.
Just discovered Apache log: ssl_engine_log
As far as I can tell, SSL is working perfectly on my server. Though I am wondering why I am getting errors logged? By the looks of it, I've been getting them every day since I opened my server.
Here's a few:

I have a set up where server 1 holds a mysql DB and a virtual host. server 2 holds many virtual hosts in apache (16) connecting to this DB.
The virtual hosts all hold the same script, but the single VH on server 1 receives about the same amount of visits as all the VHs of server 2.
server 1 is very busy at times, like 100% CPU and a load around 10 for long period of times.
server 2 is not very busy, around 30% CPU usage and 0.6 CPU load.
Yet, users on server 2 experience *much slower* response times than the ones on server 1.
The obvious reason could be the network between the two, but I'm not convinced (6 seconds for a query run from server 2 when it brings back 1 row and takes 0.01 second from server 1).
I was wondering what other reasons it could be.
The mysql processlist is weird:

Why so many sleeping processes from server 2, and none or almost none from server 1 ?
Is it normal that every query from server 2 is open on a different port ? Should they be grouped by virtual host, or is there one different port for each script running concurrently?
What could be a reason for server 2 having problems to open connections on server 1, and how to solve it?
Right now I'm about to deport more users from server 1 to new virtual hosts on server 2, hoping it will lower the load on the first machine and overall accelerate the response times. I just thought I'd post here first because this all seems very weird to me and i thought someone with an external look might tell me what I'm doing wrong. And also if network would be the problem maybe that's not the clever thing to do to make more users remote.
I have set up IP-Based Virtual Hosts, as I have been requested to set it up for SSL.
I have successfully set up all redirects and routes using the IFCONFIG and ROUTE.
My query is this, I have noticed that each HTTP request actually has to come in through the Virtual IP address (which is assigned to each site) from outside. Else it just displays the default host. Does this mean I have to have a separate phone line and router for each web-site I wish to host?
I am using Apache on Fedora Core 6.
I have my Apache 2.4.9 for Windows with multiple Virtual Hosts, the main one is configure like this:
Code:
NameVirtualHost vhost1.domain.org:80
<VirtualHost vhost1.domain.org:80>
ServerName vhost1.domain.org
DocumentRoot "C:/Apache24/htdocs"
ServerAdmin techsupport@domain.org
# ErrorLog "logs/vhost1.domain.org-error.log"
# CustomLog "logs/vhost1.domain.org-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
The rest like this:
Code:
NameVirtualHost vhost2.domain.org:80
<VirtualHost vhost2.domain.org:80>
ServerName vhost2.domain.org
DocumentRoot "C:/Apache24/htdocs/vhost2"
ServerAdmin techsupport@domain.org
# ErrorLog "logs/vhost2.domain.org-error.log"
# CustomLog "logs/vhost2.domain.org-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
There is no *:80 anywhere and still when I go to any vhost it always load the main one.
What else do I need to check?
I installed a new certificate, made it default, assigned it to the shared ip address and made the plesk panel use it.
The problem is we have 200 virtual hosts using the old certificate. Is there a way to reconfigure all those domains easily.

I am wanting to create a variety of localhost sites all for development. One of those is built on Laravel 4. I have followed every tutorial I can find yet, for some reason which I do not understand ALL my sites route back to the Laravel root document when called from the browser. Just don't get it.
Here is my hosts file:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 vince-XPS-8300
127.0.0.1 auburntree

Code:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin mail@shaw.ca
ServerName auburntree
DocumentRoot /var/www/auburntree/public
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Here is the alternative "example" conf file with just "hello world" in it.
Code:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin mail@shaw.ca
ServerName example
DocumentRoot /var/www/example/test.html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Both conf files have been enabled.

I just installed a new server and I would like to transfer all virtual-hosts on new Apache installation.
I updated all IP addresses in each .config file and simply uploaded the edited conf files into new /etc/apache2/sites-available folder. I rebooted Apache, but through Webmin I can not see them on Existing virtual hosts list. Why? Do I need to manually re-add all the 30 sites?
I am having to restart https after a reboot in order to get the virtual hosts working.
If I DON'T restart https, all I get is the system default page and NOT the individual vhost index pages.
I have a task of converting a current Win Server based apache server from multiple IP based virtual hosts to a full name based virtual hosting.I'm famiilar with the steps but I was wondering if there are any gotchas in Windows that I should be aware of. It seems that now matter what I change in the new config it doesn't work or work as expected.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was in the market for a new dedicated server after a couple of years with my previous provider. The previous provider did nothing wrong but they were no longer competitive when it came to CPU and memory.
I moved first to geekrack. And I left them after a week and a half as they never were able to get my rDNS records setup.
I found Universal Hosts on this forum and gave them a shot. I had asked for an operating system that they didn't offer normally (Debian 64 bit) and they said that they could do it. However, when my server was setup it was 32 bit Debian instead. They apologized and had Debian 64 bit setup less than 24 hours later.
When I asked them to get rDNS records setup it took a few hours but they were setup correctly and they worked.
Universal Hosts is also a BurstNet reseller but compared to my other attempt at using a BurstNet reseller they are fantastic. While the initial config was incorrect they worked quickly to fix it and were very professional about it.
So after two weeks - so far so good. Keep up the good work UniHosts!
I am running Proftpd on my RedHat. I have disabled anonymous login because i dont need it and its running fine.
I have created a user named test on the server and i try to connect it by typing ftp://myserver/ and then provide the id and pass.
Now it logged-in successfully but cant access any directories on the server. i have been Google around but really getting confused how i properly create a ftp user
i want the test user to access the following directories and he can be able to upload and download files from these directories
/home/usman/public_html/
/home/usman/public_ftp/
/home/usman/cgi-bin/
This isn't a major problem but I was just wondering something regarding how ProFTPd functions. I have received a complaint about a user uploading a script, the script creating files and directories, and the user not being able to CHMOD, delete, rename, or do anything to these files.
When files are created through scripts on my server, they are given a default owner permission with "www-data" for the user and group.
Since ProFTPd is set up to only modify files on certain owner permissions according to the user's FTP access, ProFTPd will not allow any other owner permission and if any other owner permissions exist, ProFTPd will not allow those files to be modified or changed in anyway.
Is there a way to fix this? I've been trying to figure it out but I can't.
Just for note, I am using proftpd-mysql and so every user is linked through a MySQL database.
When connecting via an ftp client I want the directory listed to be /var/www/html but currently it's /home/username. I've tried changing the initial login directory with webmin to /var/www/html but to no avail. How would this be done?

configure --localstatedir=/var/run --with-libraries=/usr/lib64 --sysconfdir=/etc --with-modules=mod_ratio:mod_readme:mod_quota --with-modules=mod_ratio:mod_readme:mod_quota:mod_tls --enable-buffer-size=8192 --prefix=/usr CC=gcc CFLAGS=-O -pipe -O3 -fexpensive-optimizations -fstrength-reduce -pipe -DPLESK_Linux -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/home/builder/buildbot/psa-aiconfig-810-fc4x64/build/plesk/lib/dist/usr/include -I/usr/include CXXFLAGS=-O -pipe -O3 -fexpensive-optimizations -fstrength-reduce -pipe -DPLESK_Linux -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/home/builder/buildbot/psa-aiconfig-810-fc4x64/build/plesk/lib/dist/usr/include -I/usr/include CXX=g++ LDFLAGS= --enable-ltdl-convenience --no-create --no-recursion
